Question 10
View details
10 A particle of mass 0.5 kg is initially at point \(O\). It moves from rest along the \(x\)-axis under the influence of two forces \(F _ { 1 } \mathrm {~N}\) and \(F _ { 2 } \mathrm {~N}\) which act parallel to the \(x\)-axis. At time \(t\) seconds the velocity of the particle is \(v \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
\(F _ { 1 }\) is acting in the direction of motion of the particle and \(F _ { 2 }\) is resisting motion.
In an initial model
  • \(F _ { 1 }\) is proportional to \(t\) with constant of proportionality \(\lambda > 0\),
  • \(F _ { 2 }\) is proportional to \(v\) with constant of proportionality \(\mu > 0\).
    1. Show that the motion of the particle can be modelled by the following differential equation.
$$\frac { 1 } { 2 } \frac { d v } { d t } = \lambda t - \mu v$$
  • Solve the differential equation in part (a), giving the particular solution for \(v\) in terms of \(t\), \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\). You are now given that \(\lambda = 2\) and \(\mu = 1\).
  • Find a formula for an approximation for \(v\) in terms of \(t\) when \(t\) is large. In a refined model
    • \(F _ { 1 }\) is constant, acting in the direction of motion with magnitude 2 N ,
    • \(F _ { 2 }\) is as before with \(\mu = 1\).
    • Write down a differential equation for the refined model.
    • Without solving the differential equation in part (d), write down what will happen to the velocity in the long term according to this refined model.
